Switchgears Market to Reach US$ 197.5 Bn by 2025 from 2017 to 2025 – Credence Research

According to a new market research report published by Credence Research “Switchgear Market (By Voltage: Low Voltage (Less than 1KV), Medium Voltage (1KV to 75KV) and High Voltage (Above 75KV); By End-use Industry: Transmission & Distribution Utilities, Manufacturing & Process Industries, Commercial & Residential Infrastructure) – Growth, Future Prospects, and Competitive Landscape, 2017-2025”, switchgear market was valued at US$ 89.4 Bn in 2016 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.2 % during the forecast period from 2017 to 2025.

Switchgear is an assembly of electrical devices which are incorporated into the electrical circuits to protect other electrical equipment and appliances from the undesirable electrical occurring. Such occurring includes short-circuits, overloads, voltage fluctuations and overheating, among others. Switchgears have been used from past several years in order to safeguard electrical devices in power plants, transmission and distribution utilities, manufacturing and processing industries, and commercial and residential infrastructures. Switchgears provides superior protection when compared to the normal protection offered by the fuse and other protection devices individually. Consequently, owing to the aforementioned merits the demand for the switchgears is expected to rise consistently in the following years.

Growing demand for electric energy boosted the establishment of new power plants across the world. Switchgears are used to ensure the safety of heavy and expensive equipment and machinery in the power plants. Switchgears are also used to safeguard the electrical devices used in set-up and re-establishment of transmission and distribution utilities. With consistently growing power plants and renovations and up-gradation of power system networks, the demand for the switchgears is expected to escalate throughout the forecast period. In addition, switchgears are also used to prevent electrical damage to the equipment and devices used for manufacturing and processing industries as well as residential and commercial complexes. With the growth in the aforementioned sectors, the market for switchgears is also expected to demonstrate a substantial growth in the following years.
